Pinterest Software Engineer interview experience

Pinterest·Software Engineer·Reported Jul 2026
Technical ScreenHard

The technical screen was difficult in a specific way: it was a LeetCode medium-to-hard problem with about an hour to solve it. I could receive hints, but was still expected to reach the solution myself instead of relying on help.

Even with collaboration allowed, the clock mattered heavily. I did not progress to an offer, and the high bar left the familiar feeling that being almost there was not enough.

Location: Seattle, WA. Overall feedback: neutral. Offer status: no offer.
